however, I'm not wild about the "Wolverines North" moniker

I doubt Damon or Randy cares for it either.

I don't know, you'll have to wait for the in depth interview series which is starting in January.

A video which included him in alot of clips - #15 - seems like a big, mobile, physical, defensive, defenseman

(...Yeah, I already posted this in the GLI thread, but I'm pretty pumped!) Check out this historical item I just added to my collection. This is one of two prototype jerseys produced for the 1994 GLI. I purchased the other in 2002, but the owner wanted to keep this one. Almost a decade later, and the week of GLI, it surfaces again and is now part of my collection! This is a sign - Tech wins the GLI for sure now.
(This is worth two!)

Here is the other jersey I purchased in 2002. You can read the back story of both jerseys at the link below.

Linkorama is up for this week including videos of John Scott's TWO fights this week: http://dlvr.it/11tjlk

And Kivisto and L'Esperance are both released as of yesterday, "In separate transactions, the K-Wings released forward Alan L’Esperance and defensemen John Kivisto" Full Story Here

Quick turnaround there...

John was only a short term pick-up to begin with. K-zoo was hurting for bodies to throw out there due to injuries.
He didn't practice with the team, only there for the games.

Defenseman, Kent McPherson (Trenton Golden Hawks-OJHL) has committed to Michigan Tech. He played 9 games in QMJHL so he will have to sit out a season plus 9 games and be eligible for the 10th game of the 2013-14 season. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=45136 Looks good, has nearly a point per game including 30 goals in 78 games so far. More later when I get some time.

Haha, I'd imagine you have to start somewhere for the next couple of years, I'd think that we'll start seeing Mel compete for "normal" recruits in a few years.

Both were short term contracts

L'Esperance signed a one week contract just to fill in for a couple of games while home on break

To be clear, I did say that in jest; not to question Pearson's recruiting practices. This guy looks pretty good on paper, too bad we'll only get about 2 3/4 seasons out of him.

Figured L'Esperance was as well, didn't know for sure.

Yeah, I figured as much. Its hard to argue with his stats so far, although that league is tough as I said in my article to judge. There are only 7 defenseman in the top 25 in scoring that are even on Heisenberg's list.

Re: Michigan Tech 2011-12 Season Thread, Part II: You're gonna need a bigger bandwago

Nice (but brief) mention of Pearson / MTU and the GLI during the Versus / NBC Sports telecast tonight. It sounded like the announcers talked to Pearson when they were in Detroit the day before to do the Blues v Wings game. All promotions are good promotions at this point.

And I'm all for overage Canadians - that was the basic team make up the last time we hosted playoffs in Houghton. So we have to take some ribbing from North Dakota. In a few days, they won't even have a name so they have bigger problems then us stealing their third line players. I hope their uniforms have "Thanks for 'Nothing' NCAA" as the cresting.

Perhaps they could take a cue from their old name and become the UND Flick-offs.
